Adagio 8.0D
I transfered from Accpac 8.0 in Feb 2007. Chart of accouont was created in Accpac with Gl Account and Department. When we transfered to Adagio and ran the Check Data Integrity, we got this message right away "Account has an invalid department". At the time, the saleperson couldn't do anything about it. We were in a hurry so we started to work with Adagio as is. All year, we posted transactions and everything ended up OK. But Before I close 2007, I want to make sure that the closing will go smoothly. With this error message, do you think that all accounts and departments will close properly? As it is, if I search for a specific department, I don't have none. It seems that the department is attached to the account. If you need more explanation, please feel free to call me 514-934-0313 #233

Thank you.

Hi, Suzanne,

It sounds like you do not have a department list set up (Edit | Departments) from the main menu.

What you can do is to access the Company Profile and uncheck the 'Report missing department errors' option. Run DIC again after this and it should resolve your errors.

I notice you're on an upgrades plan. So you know, there have been two upgrades to the release of Adagio GL you are currently on. Perhaps when you've completed your year end (although this isn't necessary), you'll want to upgrade your version to one that is more current.

Thank you for using Adagio.

This won't impact your Y/E, all Accounts should close properly. On the other hand, why don't you define the Department Codes that are being used? If you did the warning messages in the Data Integrity Check would go away.

I notice that you are on the Update Plan and am surprised you are running G/L 8.0D!

Before I update,I would like to settle the problem of the Chart of Account. In Accpac, the department was created at the same time as the account. In Adagio, I would like to have a list of Account and a list a available department. Right now, when I call up an account there is a department showing in the Account Section and nothing showing in the department. I would like to correct this and have a drop down list of G/L Account and a drop down list of deparment. Is this possible or do I have to recreate a complete Chart of Account?
My Chart of Account has approxm 4000 accounts.

Thank you.

Hello S.A.,

First, use Edit | Departments to add the missing department numbers and their descriptions into the table.

Then, run the Data Integrity Check and make sure the problems have gone away. The Data Integrity Check will list each department number that is missing from the table.

In ACCPAC Plus, department descriptions were optional. In Adagio, you can have the same behaviour by turning off the "Report missing departments" option in the COmpany profile.

None of this will affect the closing of your accounts at year end.

If you updated to V9.0A of the General Ledger, your year end would be much simpler.
